Here is an idea for you that I have seen on my travels around the web.

I have made it using the Heart Framelits from the Main Catalogue. The flowers were made using the 1 3/4", 1 1/4" and 7/8" Scallop Circle punches with Real Red and Silver Glimmer Paper. The leaves were made using the Bird Builder Punch.

Don't forget if you place an order of £150 or host a party of £150 you will get the Silver Glimmer Paper free with your Sale-A-Bration goodies.

Yesterday was my nieces 10th Birthday. I cannot believe that she 10 already, she is growing up so fast.

She is changing what she likes and is into almost daily so it was hard to come up with something for the card I made for her.

I made her an owl from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using the Scallop Circle and Topnote dies for the Bigshot. I have used the retired 3 heart punch and retired SAB stamp set from last year for the greeting.

Other punches used are the 13/4", 13/8" and 1" circle punches for the eyes, the Curly Label punch for the greeting and the 13/4" Scallop circle punch for the chest.

She loved the card as I hoped she would. Now I just need to think what I am going to make her for next year!!

I am having a day crafting tomorrow and I am going to be using some of my new product from the Spring/Summer Supplement and some of the fabulous offerings from the SAB brochure from this year, you will love them all they are fab.

Well today is my FIL's birthday and I am not sure if he reads my blog or not so I will say happy birthday now and I can show his card as I know he will have it by now.

I have used the cupcake builder punch in Pacific Point and Crumb Cake. I added Early Espresso chips to the cupcake and then added Crystal Effects to give them some dimension.

For the greeting I have used is Priority Mail which is one of the exclusive hostess sets from the main Catalogue.

Do you see that paper? Well that is a sneak peak from this years SAB products. Not long now and you will be able to see all of them in the flesh when you place an order for £45 (you will get 1 free product). This year is the best SAB yet with it being SU!'s 25th Anniversary!! You will love it!!

Don't FORGET you only have until the end of January to order from the Autumn/Winter Seasonal catty. If you want anything from it then please get in touch and I will order it for you and have it delivered directly to your door.

I have had a little time off whilst I found my mojo. I managed to find it just before Christmas but was then busy with fairs and commissions for people.

I will show you some of the stuff that I did before Christmas now and will come back with some non Christmassy stuff really soon.

This is a banner that has been made using the Scallop Circle Bigz Die, a rosette made using my Simply Scored Board, The Ornament punch and a retired alphabet die

Now the inspiration for these came from Becky Roberts over at Inking Idaho. They are battery operated tealights that I got from fleabay.

I made these a couple of years ago as my 3D swap at the SU! Convention in UK at Addington Palace. I have changed them up a bit by using the Champagne glimmer paper from the seasonal catty and the Sweater Trim also from the seasonal catty.

I saw these on the internet last year but could not get hold of the skinny bags anywhere, but this year we now have them in our main Catalogue, so I could make them. I don't remember where I saw them first but if anyone knows who the original make of these is then let me know so I can credit them.

Again I don't remember where I saw these but thought they were super cute and had to make them. Both these and the legs sold extremely well but do take a little while to make.

This is a piccy of my table set up and ready to go at one of my fairs.

I look forward to reading your comments and visiting you to see what you have done.

Well today sees the launch of our new annual catty and what a fab catty it is. We are now in line with the USA and have nearly all of the products that they do (with tthe exception of My Digital Studio and personalised stamps).

To mark this day a few demonstrators are having a blog hop and you should have come here from the fabulous Lynn's Blog and will go on from here the also fabulous Elaines blog.

Well here are my creations for the blog hop

My first is a card which uses from the Autum/Winter Catalogue, Scentsational Season Stamp set and dies which come as a bundle and save you 15% off the individual prices, what a bargain!! I have also used one of the new in colours which is Gumball Green and teamed this up with Cherry Cobbler. I have used Teeny Tiny Wishes for the greeting and the bow is another new product which is the Sweater Trim in Gumball Green. It also comes in Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

My second is a mini accordian matchbook in Cherry Cobbler. I have trimmed it with the Christmas paper from the Main Catty called Be Of Good Cheer. I have used the new Gumball Green Stitched Satin ribbon with a Designer Ribbon Slide. I have then wrapped it up with some of the super gorgeous, super soft Scalloped Tulle Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler.

If you want to start from the beginning then you need to go to Laura's blog.

I hope you like and you have fun on the hop looking at all of the fabulous products and samples produced for you.
